The Program The (formerly known as the I: Reasoning Test) assesses student reasoning based on knowledge and skills developed by the students in their course work. The Subject Tests (formerly known as II: Subject Tests) are a series of onehour, mostly multiplechoice tests that measure how much students know about a particular academic subject and how well they can apply that knowledge. Most students also complete the optional Questionnaire (formerly known as the Student Descriptive Questionnaire) when they register to take Program tests, providing valuable contextual information to aid in interpreting and understanding individual and group scores. CollegeBound Seniors 2012 includes students who tested through June 2012. Using This Report CollegeBound Seniors presents data on high school graduates in the year 2012 who participated in the Program. Students are counted only once, no matter how often they tested, and only their latest scores and most recent Questionnaire responses are summarized. Because the accuracy of selfreported information has been documented and the collegebound population is relatively stable from year to year, Questionnaire responses from these students can be considered highly accurate. Therefore, you can use this report to: Interpret scores of individual students within the broader context of data aggregated across groups of collegebound seniors. Study changes over time in the characteristics of students taking tests. Look at yeartoyear educational and demographic changes in this population, along with changes in test performance. Keep in mind, however, that: Relationships between test scores and other factors such as educational background, gender, racial/ethnic background, parental education, and household income are complex and interdependent.these factors do not directly affect test performance; rather, they are associated with educational experiences both on tests such as the and in schoolwork. Not all students in a high school, school district or state take the. Since the population of testtakers is selfselected, using aggregate scores to compare or evaluate teachers, schools, districts, states or other educational units is not valid, and the College Board strongly discourages such uses. Interpreting scores for subgroups requires unique considerations. The most significant factor to consider in interpreting scores for any group, or subgroup, of testtakers is the proportion of students taking the test. For example, if state data are being considered, it is appropriate to recognize that in some states there are lower participation rates. Typically, testtakers in these states have strong academic backgrounds and apply to the nation's most selective colleges and scholarship programs. For these states, it is expected that the mean scores reported for students will be higher than the national average. Statistical Definitions The following terms are used throughout this report. For more statistical information, visit the College Board website at www.collegeboard.org. Mean The mean is the arithmetic average. Percentile The percentile, also called the percentile point, is the point on the measurement scale below which a specified percentage of scores falls. The 25th, 50th and 75th percentile points are often reported for large data sets. The 50th percentile point is also called the median and, like the mean, is an average and a good indicator of the center of the distribution of scores. Comparing the 25th and 75th percentile points gives an idea of the range of scores in the populations reported in this document. Like the standard deviation, the difference between the scores associated with the 75th and 25th percentiles is an indication of the variability of the scores in a particular sample. Scaled score A scaled score is a score that has been converted from the raw score (number of questions answered correctly minus a fraction of the incorrect answers) for reporting. The Program uses the 200 to 800 point scale. Standard deviation (SD) The standard deviation (SD) is a measure of the variability of a set of scores. If test scores cluster tightly around the mean score, as they do when the group tested is relatively homogeneous, the standard deviation is smaller than it would be with a more diverse group and a greater scatter of scores around the mean. About the College Board The College Board is a missiondriven notforprofit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the College Board was created to expand access to higher education. Today, the membership association is made up of over 6,000 of the world s leading educational institutions and is dedicated to promoting excellence and equity in education.

For 1987 1995 individual student scores were converted to the recentered scale and then the mean was recomputed. From 1996 1999, nearly all students received scores on the recentered scale. Any score on the original scale was converted to the recentered scale prior to computing the mean. From 2000 2012, all scores are reported on the recentered scale. Cohort data presented prior to 2007 include students testing through March of the senior year, while cohort data from 2007 to present include students testing through June.
